’Lou Dobbs Tonight’ segment dismisses manmade global warming theory—‘effects of greenhouse gas have a small impact on climate change.’
If you’re fortunate enough to have it - don’t sell that oceanfront property for fear that the icecaps will melt, and rising seas swamping your property. A segment on CNN’s Jan. 13 “Lou Dobbs Tonight” explored the possibility that earth isn’t warming, but is, in fact, cooling.
Dobbs cited National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data dating back to 1880 which showed a spike in mean temperature over land and ocean. However, Joseph D’Aleo, the executive director of International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project (ICECAP) questioned that data by comparing it to more modern reliable satellite data, when ask if he “quibbled” with the NOAA data’s representation. “Yes, I do,” D’Aleo replied. “In fact, if you look at the satellite data, which is the most reliable data, the best coverage of the globe - 2008 was the 14th coldest in 30 years. That doesn’t jive with the tenth warmest in 159 years in the Hadley data set or 113 or 114 years in the NOAA set.”
D’Aleo’s organization, ICECAP, is one of 33 groups co-sponsoring The Heartland Institute’s 2009 International Conference on Climate Change in New York City March 8-10. ... According to D’Aleo, the spike in NOAA climate data is a result of location changes where the data is recorded. He contended that with the proportional increase of urban data used versus rural data, the overall effect was a warming trend. “Those global dat a sets are contaminated by the fact that two-third of the globe’s stations dropped out in 1990,” D’Aleo added. “Most of them rural and they performed no urban adjustment."

List PING!
Wait, global cooling, what happened to global warming, or are they both happening at the same time? Is global cooling started by CO2 emission too? All of this BS really has me confused.
QUICK, everybody buy an SUV and start cruising around so we can reverse this trend!
Once you realize enviromentalism is where three cups and a red ball con men go to retire, it all falls into place....(chuckle)
notice the NEW and IMPROVED polar bear commercials warn of “climate change” not global warming.
it is 1984 newspeak.
“we have ALWAYS been at war with Oceana...”
tommorrow it will be we have always been at war with someone else.
1984 should be mandatory reading and contrasting 1984 with CNN and MSNBC reporting should be a mandatory lesson.
You know what happened? Al Gore and his movie were TOO successful in stopping global warming that he actually made it get colder.
You are right! It’s all Gore’s fault!
Al Gore was wrong about this minor and trivial issue, but hey, I’ll bet he is correct on all the others.
Man you need to keep up! Listen carefully. “Temperatures getting colder proves global warming.” Got it!!!
Time to burn my big brush pile. Save the planet, and all.
WAITAMINIT! I thought the "experts" had a solid consensus that the world is warming. I thought it was "settled science"!!!
Oh, yes now I got it. You have to swallow all the BS in your mouth before you start to believe in the BS on your plate.
Beat me to the punch.
/sarc (but not really -- I'm actually waiting for an idiot Warmist to publicly make a statement like this)

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
Since Gore and his followers told us that mankind could effect global warming, we can logically and reasonably blame Al Gore, Jr. and his followers for creating global cooling.
They moved the temp data instruments from the rural areas and put them on black roofed city buildings where the AC exhaust vents would blow hot air on them all summer.
You are a fast learner!
